Zhang Qiong has not been pregnant for a long time, and it is not only the Jia family who is anxious, but also the Zhang family. Mrs. Zhang is very worried about her daughter, and now that she is in the next year, she will see that it will be two years. Although my uncle's house is clean and clean, and there is not even a girl in the room, the old lady pressed Mrs. Jia and did not stuff people into the house, if she waits any longer, I am afraid that the old lady will not be able to say anything.

Mrs. Zhang said sadly: "Master, do you say that Qiong'er has some secret disease, so she has not been pregnant for a long time?"

"Are you thinking too much? Qiong'er asked for a doctor once every half a month when she was at home, and she didn't hear the doctor say anything wrong with her body?" Zhang Changgong replied.

"If it's good, then why hasn't there been any movement for so long?" said Mrs. Zhang worriedly.

"What are you worried about, this child is just fate, and besides, the eldest and second have given birth to two grandchildren for you, is it possible that you are still greedy for your grandson?" Although Zhang Changgong was a little worried, he still comforted his wife without care.

"Alas, this kind of thing is also said to be forced to come. Mrs. Zhang sighed, and saw Zhang Changgong reading a book again, "Master, it's not too early, let's sleep." ”

Zhang Changgong put down the book and went to bed as he said.

In the Jia family, the old lady was also talking to Mama Gu about Zhang Qiong's pregnancy.

The old lady was crooked on the pit, looking at the account book handed in today, and suddenly said: "Mama Gu, you said that the eldest grandmother has not been pregnant for so long, is there something wrong?"

Mama Gu also knows that the old lady's biggest wish now is to hold her great-grandson, but this thing is not said to exist, last time the wife took this matter to let the old lady send it to the uncle's house, but fortunately, the old lady did not listen to the persuasion as the wife wished. I just invited a famous doctor to recuperate my grandfather and grandmother, thinking that I could get pregnant as soon as possible. But people are not as good as heaven, and this send-off mother just didn't come.

After thinking about it in her heart for a while, Mama Gu said with a smile: "Old lady, didn't Doctor Li say last time that Grandma is fine, Grandma is fine, don't you still believe what Doctor Li said? ”

"Alas. The old lady put down the account book in her hand, rubbed her sore forehead, Gu Mama took it when she saw this, and pressed it slowly, the old lady was good for a while, and then said: "Then Dr. Li's medical skills, how can I doubt it? It's just good, why can't I get pregnant? I also asked that Mama Tong, except for her granddaughter-in-law, she only rests in the study when it is inconvenient, and the others stay in Qingfeng Courtyard every night. What do you think is going on?"

Mama Gu persuaded: "Old lady, grandma and grandma are still young, even if they are born in a few years, it is not too late, you still don't say that your wife will be pregnant with your uncle three years after entering the door." Then you don't have to worry, according to the old slave, the old lady is blessed, and you must have a full house of children and grandchildren, and the great-grandson is afraid that he can't hug it. ”

When the old lady heard this, she thought about the scene and laughed: "You, you will make me happy." If it is true as you say, I will die without regrets. ”

"Old lady, why are you so unlucky in this year, and I don't know how to taboo. Mama Gu said hurriedly.

The old lady patted her hand and said comfortingly: "You and I are both old, and there is nothing taboo to say something ugly about people who have fallen into the ground with half of their bodies." ”

"Old lady, don't be foolish, you will live a hundred years. Mama Gu said.

The old lady smiled and waved her hand, "Long life is 100 years old? There are a few more in the world, and there are no saints who are afraid of them." Compared to the old lady who passed away, I have lived more than ten years, which is enough. Now that Yu'er has become a parent, Min'er is also engaged, although Zheng'er has not been decided, but she also has eyebrows, if her granddaughter-in-law can give birth to a great-grandson again, I really have nothing to ask for. ”

"Old lady. ”

"Okay, okay, I hope that my granddaughter-in-law will get pregnant soon, not only because I want to hold my great-grandson, but more importantly, I want to hand over the housekeeping to her, but she hasn't given birth to a child for a day, and these minions in this house just won't really obey her. At that time, the wife was not really in charge of the housekeeping until she gave birth to a pardoned child. Now that I'm old, the housekeeper is also struggling, although my granddaughter-in-law and Min'er help me, but I can't do it. In case I leave, this internal affairs will be held by my wife, it will not be good for our Jia family, and you know that she is short-sighted. ”

"Old lady, isn't there still an old man, he won't leave it alone. Mama Gu replied.

"Rely on him, forget it, I know the son I gave birth to, Shan'er, he put all his experiences outside, but he didn't know that this inner house was the foundation of a family. What was his attitude towards Yu'er a few years ago, you don't know. The old lady shook her head.

Mama Gu didn't answer the old lady's words, but just helped the old lady press her forehead on the side, and the old lady didn't know what she was thinking with her eyes half-closed?

Jia Min also knew the situation at home, her grandmother was anxious to hold her great-grandson, her sister-in-law was also worried about her lack of pregnancy, and her mother was watching and wanted to stuff people from it, but they didn't know that Zhang Qiong's delay in pregnancy was related to the sachet Jia Min gave her, and only Mama Qian knew about it in the whole house.

"Girl, shouldn't the sachet of the eldest grandmother also stop?" Mama Qian saw the situation in the house, the eldest grandmother had not been in a good position for a long time, and several masters in the family were in a bad mood. But the initiator turned out to be her big girl, but this situation continues, and I am afraid that the wife will have a trick.

"Well, I see, don't say it in my ear every day. Jia Min said helplessly, Mama Qian began to persuade her when her grandmother asked for a doctor for her eldest brother and sister-in-law, but her sister-in-law in her previous life also gave birth to Jia Hu two years later, and because she failed to recuperate well, she was injured during childbirth, and then she was sad and sad because of Hu's untimely death.

Seeing that Mama Qian still wanted to speak, she said again: "Mama, you also know that your sister-in-law's body was cold before, and it is not a good time to conceive when she is young, what if she is pregnant again and hurts her body? No matter how good it is, if the mother is not in good health, it is not a good thing for the child in the womb, and you don't want your sister-in-law to give birth to a sick and weak brother, right?"

Mama Qian still disagreed, Jia Min couldn't just be like a child, took her hand and shook it, and said coquettishly: "Mama, don't you believe in my medical skills? ”

Mama Qian was shaken by her and had no choice, Fang said: "Okay, the old slave's old bones are going to be shaken away by the girl." Besides, the old slave didn't doubt your medical skills. "A few days ago, I didn't know why, my body was uncomfortable all of a sudden, she didn't take it seriously, she still went to the girl's house on an errand, but I didn't expect to faint on the ground, and when she woke up, she realized that it was the girl's pulse, the prescription, and after eating a few posts, her body was really good. At this time, she realized that the girl's medical skills were not much worse than those doctors outside. But it's not a good thing that this official lady knows how to heal, so she beat several big girls in Qingya Yuan and hid the matter.

Jia Min stopped as he said, and said: "Mama, I forgot to say that the cold in my sister-in-law's body is almost gone, and this sachet can be replaced with other things, and let Shui Yun understand that she will send the soup to the eldest brother again." ”

Mama Qian was very happy to hear that she was going to stop the medicine in the grandmother's sachet, and then she was not allowed to send the soup to the uncle, but she was surprised and blurted out: "Girl, does the soup you let people give to the uncle have any other effect?"

Jia Min looked embarrassed and said embarrassedly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's all about supplementing the body, just a little bit of contraception." After speaking, he didn't dare to look at Mama Qian.

"Girl, you, you let the old slave say what is good about you? You did such a big thing without discussing it with me, if the old lady found out, what would happen?"

Jia Min also knew that what she did was not appropriate, but she was also for Jia Yu's good, so she said: "Mama, I am also for the good of the eldest brother, the sister-in-law should not be pregnant now, if the mother sends the girl to the eldest brother as a tongguò, isn't it possible to give birth to a child before the sister-in-law." It's not a good thing for the family to have a long son and a young son-in-law, and I also take precautions. ”

"Alas. Mama Qian also knew that what the girl said was right, and after a sigh, Fang said: "The old slave is talking about the girl, but the girl also knows what she can and can't do, don't be willful, the uncle and the grandmother are the girl's brother and sister-in-law, and the girl is not in accordance with the rules when she intervenes in their room." If outsiders perceive it, it will damage the girl's reputation. Seeing that Jia Min wanted to speak, he said: "The old slave also knows that the girl is good for the uncle, but some things can be done with a heart if they are not kind, and they also know that there is a saying that they can do bad things with a good heart." ”

When Jia Min heard this, she dispelled the unspoken words, this was her transgression, and muttered: "Mama, I know, I won't act so recklessly in the future." ”

"Old slave, I only hope that the girl can really think clearly, and don't do anything to regret. Mama Qian also looked wrong and sighed. But thinking about the dream that the girl told her, she knew that she wanted to change things in the future, so she had to suppress the words full of words, but she didn't know whether the girl was good or bad in doing this.

The next day, the pair of cards was dealt, and the family affairs were sorted out, Jia Min invited Zhang Qiong to walk in the garden, and a group of people who were a little tired sat down in the pavilion to rest, Jia Min saw Zhang Qiong's eyebrows frowning, and the corners of his eyes were slightly worried, so he said: "Sister-in-law, but there is something on your mind?"

Zhang Qiong was speechless when she heard this, she was only a little worried because she was not pregnant, although the old lady did not put pressure on her, but the old lady who asked the doctor to enter the house was also speechless The old lady wanted to hold her great-grandson, and the wife also hinted at letting her put the face of the girl next to her in the house when she asked for peace. didn't think about it, she just opened her mouth, and was rejected by Jia Yu. She was also happy and sad, and Jia Yu also frequently explained to her, and said that his wife was only pregnant with him three years after entering the door.

"Thank you sister for your concern, I'm fine. Min'er is still young, how can I tell her this kind of thing, so I have to say perfunctorily.

"Sister-in-law, don't lie to me, but don't worry about the little nephew?" Jia Min also knew that she was not good at talking about this kind of thing, so she opened her mouth first.

"Ahh Zhang Qiong blushed when she heard her speak so bluntly, and replied, "Sister, who told you this." ”

Jia Min smiled: "No one said anything to me, I heard it myself." I heard that the little doll was sent by the mother-in-law, sister-in-law, you scared the child-giving mother with a sad face every day, so I didn't send the little doll to my sister-in-law. ”

The girl standing next to her laughed when she heard Jia Min's innocent words.

Mama Tong behind Zhang Qiong also persuaded her: "Grandma, what the girl said is right. You should be happy, maybe if you are in a good mood, then your brother will naturally have it. "For Zhang Qiong's pregnancy, she also turned white, and she also ate a lot of those medicinal diets, but there was no movement, and she could only take medicine if she continued like this, but there is a saying that 'medicine is three points poison', and if you eat too much, you will hurt your body.

Zhang Qiong poked Jia Min and said, "You are a clever elf, you will make fun of me." ”

Jia Min said while hiding: "What I said is true, so I'm not joking." Besides, I'm still waiting for my sister-in-law to give my fat nephew, and then I'll give him all the good things I have. And he ran away.

Zhang Qiong couldn't sit still when she heard this, and ran after Jia Min. The two of them made a fuss for a while, and they ran out of strength before they sat down. This trouble, Zhang Qiong's mood is also a lot better. Mama Qian and Mama Tong saw that the two of them were sweating, and they were afraid that they would get cold while sitting in the wind, so they persuaded her to go back to the yard to change her clothes.

Zhang Qiong saw that it was not too early, so she took her farewell and went back to the courtyard first, and Jia Min also returned to Qingya Courtyard with Mama Qian.

Jia Zheng still didn't come back for the Chinese New Year, and after Mr. Na received Jia Daishan's letter, he also replied to Mr. Kong's family business according to his meaning, and Jia Zheng didn't know anything about this matter from beginning to end. Mr. Kong just smiled, and didn't force it at all. After this incident, the gentleman wanted to leave the matter and go to another place, but a few of the students who accompanied him admired the Confucian Academy very much, so he begged him to let them study in him for a while. The gentleman also told the dean, but he didn't expect the dean to welcome him, so everyone stayed.

Jia Zheng has been away for more than a year, and it is impossible to say that he doesn't want to go home, but he has been away for so long, with his husband teaching and classmates, his heart is not so dull, and his vision is not limited to Rongguo Mansion, and then he has any righteous disputes with his brother Jia Yu. Many of his classmates are the second sons like him, and they didn't envy their brother like him, so Jia Zheng was ashamed of his previous thoughts.

This time Jia Zheng didn't come back, not only Jia Shishi was complaining, but even the old lady said a few words. Although she didn't grow up by her side, she missed it very much if she didn't come back for so long, and so did Jia Yu.

In fact, Jia Daishan didn't think that these travel societies had been going on for so long, but when he saw his son's letter, he knew that he had grown between the lines, so he would not regret sending him out, and he was even happier to know that he was studying at Confucius College.

Because Jia Zheng did not come back, his marriage was also delayed, although the Hou family asked people to mention it, but because they had not seen Jia Zheng, they did not give a clear response. The implication is to wait for Jia Zheng to come back and talk about it.

The years have passed, Jia Min is also twelve years old, she has not grown much this year, she has lost her childly appearance, and she looks like a Tingting girl. When going out to socialize, many people inquire again and get married.

When Jia Daishan went out to eat New Year's wine, many people also came to inquire about Jia Min's relatives, and Jia Daishan gave it back vaguely because he thought about the Lin family. Jia Shishi also encountered the same situation, but she didn't look down on those people, in her opinion, Jia Min had to be talented, to have a look, maybe there would be greater creation in the future. Therefore, Jia Daishan was the master of the party to send those people.

After the first month, Jia Daishan received a letter from Gusu Lin's family, and when he opened the letter, it turned out that Mrs. Lin had not been in good health since she returned to Gusu. And because those clansmen saw that their orphans and widows also thought that they were easy to bully, and often came to the door to fight the autumn breeze, they were very troubled, so Mrs. Lin decided to take Lin Hai back to Beijing to keep filial piety. The Lin family now has no title and no position, so it is difficult to ask for a doctor, so I want Jia Daishan to help hire a doctor to treat my mother.

In the face of his sick mother, Lin Hai was very afraid that he would follow his father one day, so he served his mother at the bedside in addition to studying, and only hoped that his mother would recover soon, but it backfired, his father had passed away for almost two years, and his mother was still sick from time to time. This was the private land that their ancestors of the Lin family bought, and it was used as a sacrificial field because of pity for the clan, and the annual income was also returned to the clan. After Mrs. Lin found out, she discussed coming to the capital, so that the Jia family would take care of it, and it would be better.

Jia Daishan sighed after reading it, picked up the letter and came to the old lady's courtyard, Jia Min also happened to be discussing with the old lady to go out of the house to the temple to offer incense, and the old lady also agreed to go to the temple to ask for a son and a mother.

Jia Daishan took a look at Jia Min, thinking that her daughter would marry into the Lin family in the future, and she still had some understanding of the Lin family's affairs, so she also said to her face: "Mother, there is a letter from the Gusu Lin family." With that, he handed the letter to the old lady.

After reading the letter, the old lady sighed: "Since the Lin family is preparing to return to Beijing, you send someone to Jing'an Hou's Mansion to take a look. This orphan and widow are also very pitiful, and those people are truly an abomination, that they should stir up other people's property. As the old saying goes, 'don't bully young people to be poor', Brother Lin looks like a promising person, and now that he has been offended, he still expects him to take care of his clansmen. I don't know if the old lady and Jia Daishan thought the same, and handed the letter to Jia Min after reading it.

Seeing this letter, Jia Min realized that in her previous life, Lin Ruhai was so estranged from her clansmen, she was very strange when she first got married, because of their wedding, the Su Lin family did not send anyone to congratulate her, and then went to Yangzhou to take office

Seeing Jia Min's thoughts after reading the letter, the old lady nodded in her heart, and said: "Dr. Li's medical skills are good, when Mrs. Lin returns to Beijing, then he will go for diagnosis and treatment, if not, he will go to the imperial doctor." It's just that Min'er's family affairs have been decided, and the Lin family's kindness has left us leeway, but the day before yesterday, my wife told me that many families have come to inquire about Min'er's family affairs, didn't you tell your wife about our marriage with the Lin family?"

"Grandmother. Although it was more than one life, when she heard the old lady mention the marriage, Jia Min still blushed and did not follow the way.

The old lady smiled when she saw her red face and said, "My Min'er has really grown up and is shy now, but it's rare to see her." ”

When Jia Min heard this, he wanted to get up and leave, so he said: "Grandmother has something to talk about with my father, so Min'er won't bother." After saying that, the old lady left without waiting for her to speak.

The old lady was even more amused when she saw this, and after calming down, she looked at Jia Daishan and waited for his answer.

Jia Daishan saw Jia Min's shy appearance and felt sour, it was really a big girl, but when he saw his mother looking at him, Fang put away the sourness in his heart and replied: "My son Qishi also identified the Lin family, but I just want to wait for Lin Hai to be promoted before making it public, as for the wife, I forgot to say it for a while." ”

"You are really, this kind of thing can still be forgotten, no matter what Mrs. says, she is Min'er's mother, how can Min'er not let her know about Min'er's marriage?" the old lady said helplessly.

"My son is wrong, I'll tell my wife about the Lin family right away. Jia Daishan also knew that he was inappropriate.

Seeing that her son also understood, the old lady waved her hand and said, "Since my wife doesn't know about this, you are not in a hurry to sue her, your daughter-in-law has a high vision, and she can't look down on those people inside and outside her words." She often mentioned the Zhen family and the Zhen concubine in the palace to me, compared to the Zhen family, the power of our Rongguo Mansion is much higher, and Min'er will be more creative than Zhen Concubine Niangniang in the future. Tell me what she's thinking. I asked you to bang her before, but it seems that I didn't listen. If she tells her about the Lin family, I'm afraid that she will make some kind of moths, so let's wait and talk. ”

"What my mother said is true, I told her before that I wouldn't take Min'er to cling to the powerful. At that time, she kept saying that she wouldn't, how could she think like this now. Jia Daishan was puzzled, remembering that the true feelings on Jia's face at that time did not look like a fake.

"Could it be that I can still wronged her?" the old lady said angrily when she saw that her son didn't believe what she said.

"That's not what my son meant, it's just a little strange. Jia Daishan said embarrassedly.

"Well, if you don't have anything else to do, you don't want to be a mess with me. The old lady said

"Son, take your leave. With that, he went to the front yard.

Jia Shishi did not think that marrying his daughter into the royal family was clinging to the powerful, but felt that marrying into the royal family was the best choice. Rong Guogong can also be regarded as a second-class family in the capital, and this kind of family is naturally a member of the royal family, if this requirement is followed, Min'er is only married to the royal family, isn't it.

Since the old lady agreed to Jia Min to go to the temple, she chose to go to Tanzhe Temple on February 15, and the group first went to the Guanyin Temple to send incense to worship, and after donating the incense money, the old lady asked Zhang Qiong to shake the lot.

With a pious look, Zhang Qiong solemnly took the bamboo tube from the master's hand, knelt in front of Master Guanyin, shook it a few times, and a signature jumped out of the bamboo tube.

The old lady hurriedly picked up the bamboo skewer in her hand and looked at it carefully.

'There are priceless treasures and treasures inside, so why do you need to find jade from the outside world. It's better to wait for fate to come, and be relieved to be alone and more relieved. ’

The old lady looked at it and asked, "What does this mean?"

"Grandmother, the master who has the signature. Jia Min pointed to an old monk not far away and said.

The master on the side also explained: "This is the meditation master of our temple, and he is specially designed to sign the text to solve doubts. ”

Hearing this, the old lady respectfully clasped her palms and thanked her, and came to Master Meditation, who handed the signature in her hand to Master Meditation.

After carefully reading the signature, Master Jing said, "What the donor asks for is not far away, as long as you wait with your heart." ”

Hearing this, the old lady felt a hint of surprise in her heart, "Master, what do you say?"

Master Meditation explained: "Judging from this signature, the first two sentences of the donor say that you have what you ask for, and you don't need to look for it outside, and the last two sentences say that it will take some time, but it is not far away, as long as you are relieved." ”

"This, this is true. The old lady also asked a little excitedly, Zhang Qiong on the side was also very excited, Jia Min calculated the time, Hu'er was afraid that it was not far away.

"Amitabha, monks don't talk wildly. Lao Na also relied on the signature. Master Meditation said with his hands clasped together.

"Okay, okay, so I'm relieved. The old lady laughed.

I was going to go back to my house after the incense, but as soon as the old lady was happy, she went to the Yuelao Temple not far from Tanzhe Temple, and wanted to ask for marriage for Jia Min and Jia Zheng, who was away from home.

The carriage traveled for half an hour, and then came to the old temple of the moon, because this is only dedicated to the old moon, so it is not as big as the Tanzhe Temple, but the incense is not less than it. There was only one temple in the temple, and they hurriedly walked up to greet them.

After the old lady and the temple blessed each other, they entered the Yuelao Temple, and after the incense, they asked Mama Gu to add sesame oil money to the merit box. Later, she asked Jia Min to ask for a signature, and she also asked Jia Zheng for a signature.

Jia Min asked for a signature:

'The marriage in the past life continues in this life, and the bitter fruit has been turned into endless blessings. The children are carefree in pairs, and they will be safe for life. ’

The old lady got a lot:

'The mountains are thousands of heavy, and I want to grind the incense wheel. The moonlight is dark and hazy, and you can board the boat and wait for the wind. ’
